Lisbet Eisat, an Israeli defender for Bristol City representing Romania, and Finn Azaz, an Irish midfielder of Israeli descent playing for Southampton, have been recognized in a prestigious ranking of the most valuable players within their respective clubs in England's Championship league. The list, compiled by research institute CIES, includes only one player per club and excludes those on loan.
Eisat is ranked 17th with an estimated value of €11-13 million. Having joined Bristol City from Maccabi Haifa this summer, he has become a key player in the defense, playing nearly every minute of league play until a recent substitution. While noted for not yet fully displaying his passing abilities shown in Haifa, his valuation makes him Bristol City's most valuable representative on the list.
Azaz, a teammate of Daniel Peretz at Southampton, is ranked sixth with an estimated value of £28-32 million. The Saints acquired him last summer in a deal potentially reaching £16 million with bonuses. CIES now values him significantly higher, between £23.7-27.1 million, solidifying his status as a prominent attacking midfielder in the Championship.
The top of the overall ranking features Matheus Cunha of Wolves, valued at €43-50 million, followed by Taty Castellanos of West Ham at €39-45 million, and Mohamed Touré of Norwich in third place with €30-34 million. These CIES valuations represent projected transfer values, including add-ons and bonuses, and do not account for release clauses.
